The overall goal of the Civis Association is to contribute to a peace culture by promoting marginalised young people’s social and political participation, gender equality and non-violence, mainly in Colombia.
Civis supports and strengthens peace initiatives in conflict zones to defend human rights and to build democracy. It also supports financially initiatives aimed at building bridges between theory and practice in the peace and conflict resolution area.
The main target group is marginalised young people and focus is currently on working directly with youth organisations.

Civis is currently implementing the third and final year of its Colombia programme funded by Sida, and its current project funded by Forum Syd is part of this programme. Through the programme, Civis is supporting eight three-year field projects and several six month projects implemented by youth organisations in different parts of Colombia.
While the projects are all different, there is a mainstreamed focus on resisting involvement in the armed conflict through non-violence and peaceful participation. Since this programme is coming to an end in December this year, Civis is currently elaborating a new Colombia Programme. While there will be some changes, the main focus on young people, youth organisations and non-involvement in the armed conflict will be maintained.
Apart from the Colombia Programme, Civis is also implementing a three year programme funded by the European Commission (2010-2012) focused on the right to conscientious objection to compulsory military service.
